The composer states in the score:
Consider that we will never see the same sky twice in our lives. Therefore, each day the sky must express itself in a new way. Additionally, its colors and moods are of such a range that they reach the extremes of our comprehension.
The sky holds the brightest and darkest things we will ever see. It possesses every color in the spectrum. It can be stagnant or move with swift motion. Its personality can change in an instant or remain the same all day. An overcast sky can make us feel closed in and a clear sky creates in us the feeling that we’re infinitely expansive.
The morning sky gradually breathes life into us, and at sunset, the sky slowly paints all of its colors to the edge of its canvas, and then off. All day it hides its stars like secrets that can only be told in the dark. Translating the many qualities of the sky into musical moods was one of the main objectives of this piece.
